The Rs 12-15 Lakh category will see the least amount of action next year with only two releases. However, there could be a few surprises lined up as the year progresses.
We expect the Rs 12-15 Lakh category to be a slow moving cateory for 2014. That said, there could be a few manufacturers that could pull out an expected rabbit mid-year and surprize us.
Honda Civic
Expected Launch: Late 2014
Expected Price: Rs 12-15 Lakh
The Honda Civic was discontinued in India due to poor sales last year. The lack of sales were primarily due to the lack of a diesel engine in the Civic and due to the fact that the overall platform was outdated. Honda now plans to launch the new Civic in India thereby strengthening its presence in the Indian market. Expect the Civic to come with a manual and automatic petrol engine version along with a i-Dtec diesel engine. With sharp looks and the extremely loved Civic badge backing it up, the new generation car might just be the boost Honda needs in the luxury car segment in India. The Civic will go up against the likes of thenewly launched Skoda Octavia, the Chevrolet Cruze and the Volkswagen Jetta.
Renault Fluence Facelift
Expected Launch: Mid 2014
Expected Price: Rs 14-18 Lakh
The Renault Fluence has not seen the kind of success it truly deserves due to public apprehension over the Renault badge and its expensive price point. However, after the roaring success of the Renault Duster, people perceptions over Renault have been drastically altered. Renault new Fluence features a typically curvaceous French styled body with a larger grille and well crafter exteriors. The sublime and comfortable interiors too have been given a Nip/Tuck to make the cabin an even better place than it already is. The Fluence is powered by the same 110PS, 1.5 Litre DCi diesel engine that does duty in the Renault Duster. We expect Renault to slightly upgrade the power output of the 1.5 Litre DCi to match the likes of the powerful Skoda Octavia, Chevy Cruze and the soon to be launched Honda Civic.
